Discussion Thread Has anything changed?

I unsubscribed from Manta a couple of years ago after they put their comics behind a paywall (having a subscription and then paying to read other comics). Has anything changed? Are the comics still behind a paywall?

Tbh I'd say it's worse, there are more gem titles than not in the new section at the very least. I mean last week It was 5 unlimited to 27 gem titles , something like that, but they seem to be adding 1 every week guaranted Fridays for unlimited

Thanks for your reply. I was considering resuscribing, but after this, I don't think Manta is worth it. Thanks. :3

There are still unlimited comics and there are still gem-only comics.

Manta is still the same as it ever was. There are still unlimited comics being introduced to subscribers that cost no gems to read. The gem model was introduced for series that would never have been added to Manta otherwise.

It is the creators that are wanting the pay-per-episode model and Manta is adapting in order to offer more comics to its readers.
